Just a thought, but what is the value of the variable PYTHON in 
$prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py and is this the same as the results of 
executing "which python" from the command line?

If they are not the same then this might hint at the cause of your problem. 
Did you add a --with-python option when you ran ./configure? If so with 
what value?
